A tear that will be mine forever more

A tear that will be mine forever more

A Poem by Mark Heathcote





I have a tear that will be mine forever more
But it won’t fall… it’s been there frozen
In my tear duct waiting for a meltdown pour
But it won’t be moved, not even for you my chosen.

Not even for you my chosen one
Not even if it proves you are the one
You are the one my love,
The one I just couldn’t ever shun.

I ask myself am I so cold I can’t be moved?
Am I so walled up inside myself I can’t be removed?
Is everything so bleak?
That now I’m too stoic, to be gentle and meek?

Not even for you my chosen one
Not even if it proves you are the one
You are the one my love,
The one I just couldn’t ever shun.

Half the time I felt like a Memento Mori object
Long since deceased with the sun in my eye sockets
But you put the soft tissue and the cartilage
Back in place on my bones and face

And when I gave you a diamond rhinestone
Even the tears choked in my heart began to break
And pour out of the darkest corners of my heart
Laminated like tattoos on my face

I have a tear that will be mine forever more
And it can’t be moved? Not even with a hangman’s noose.
Cause you; you can’t hurt what I also deplore
You can’t hurt a heart that I to would abuse.

Not even for you my chosen one
Not even if it proves you are the one
You are the one my love,
The one I just couldn’t ever shun.

But guess what blessed women I was wrong
And now in love my tears do flow
Just for you my chosen one
So it’s true it proves you are the one
You are the one my love,
The one I just couldn’t ever shun.

About
I like all kinds of poems but I tend to gravitate toward eastern spiritual poetry. My muse almost demands it of me. So you may find quite a few being poured out from time to time. I all so write man.. more..
